I had some negative experiences when people left a project with getting unresponsive and even destructive. A nice example for a smooth farewell.

You can find the latest source tarballs and checksums on the [releases page][1] in the Other section of the Assets. [1]: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases The page also mentions several "Source code" links in the Assets from which you can download the git repository corresponding to the release. Please note that these archives do *not* include generated files such as the configure script, Makefile.in files and more. A nicely formatted version of the release notes can be found at the same location but, for your convenience, the "raw" Markdown has been included below. ### Backends - adds the `canon_lide70` backend - `avision`: adds support for the KODAK i1120, fixes thread cancellation issues, disables exposure option for non-filmscanners - `canon_dr`: improves error reporting - `dmc`: fixes compiler warnings on the scan area options - `epsonds`: rewrites the network I/O following changes made to the `epson2` backend in 1.0.30 to fix security issues. Network support is still unsupported. - `escl`: adds ADF support, fixes many minor issues and improves error handling. Now also supports devices behind a proxy (needs explicit configuration). - `fujitsu`: adds support for the fi-800R and a card scanning slot, fixes a bug when reading hardware sensors on the first invocation. Adds USB IDs for fi-7800 and fi-7900. - `genesys`: adds support for the Canon 5600F, Canon LiDE 90, Plustek OpticFilm 7200 and 7200 (v2), 7400, 7600i, 8100 and 8200i. Fixes several issues with the Canon 8600F. Adds 4800dpi support for the Canon LiDE 210 and fixes 3200dpi flatbed support on the Canon 8400F. Adds an option to fill dark calibration with a constant. Adds transparency support for gl847 chipset based devices. Fixes CIS scanner support for gl842 chipset based devices. Removes lineart and image enhancement emulation support. - `gphoto`: supports the PLANon DocuPen RC800 (with a recent enough version of `gphoto2`) - `gt68xx`: modifies scan cancellation behaviour - `hp5400`: adds button support, fixes a scan cancellation crash issue - `pixma`: add supports for the i-SENSYS MF440 Series and untested support for the PIXMMA G7000 Series and GM4000 Series as well as the i-SENSYS MF720 Series. - `plustek`: fixes a potential buffer overrun - `test`: adds gamma options ### Documentation - removes the SANE Standard. This is now maintained as a separate project at https://gitlab.com/sane-project/standard. HTML and PDF versions can be found at https://sane-project.gitlab.io/standard/. - adds and updates information for multiple supported and unsupported devices - translation updates for British English, French, German, Italian and Ukranian - `scanimage`: documents the JPEG compression level - minor improvements documenting build requirements ### Build - removes the `--with-api-spec` option from `configure` - replaces the `--enable-avahi` option with an `--with-avahi` that defaults to enabling if possible. If the option is given and the required support is not available, `configure` will exit with an error. - improves checking for libjpeg version dependent requirements - has been made reproducable (#228) - fixes build issues on MinGW ### Miscellaneous - fixes OpenBSD hotplugd scriptlets (!375) - fixes support for unconfigured USB scanners on MacOS (#38) - various fixes and improvements in the USB record/replay support - fixes a file descriptor validation test in sanei_pio - adds missing include in sanei_usb In case you encounter any issues with this release, please contact the [sane-devel mailing list][2] or [submit an issue][3].

Re: [sane-devel] SANE Backends 1.0.31 released / Goodbye
Hi Rolf, I completely agree! Is it possible that you might reconsider this decision? Thank you for all the work you've done!

I want to say, that sane-pixma is one of the most important and demanded SANE backends. Even in the era of driverless scanning, there are a lot of devices (including newly manufactured devices) that doesn't support WPA or eSCL, and only supported by pixma backend. And this situation unlikely to change within next several years. Sad to hear that one of the key developers leaves the SANE project. I belive, many, many people will be happy, if you will eventually decide to change you mind.

OMG what? :( I'm very, very sad to see you say goodbye. Thanks for all the time and effort you've put into the pixma backend. Based on the frequency with which it popped up here on the mailing list as well as in GitLab issues your leaving the SANE Project will have quite a bit of an impact :-( Hear, hear. You have always been responsive, courteous and helpful to me and that gave me an excellent introduction to the world of SANE. If somebody hears the calling to become a maintainer for the pixma backend, he/she is welcome to contact me off-list for discussing any questions about structure and functionality. If I had the time I might be up for that and in the future, perhaps that might come to pass, but I think for the moment I will just interject every now and then and do what I can. That includes finishing up the work that I am doing now. What will happen to your PPAs? Are you planning to hand that over to someone else? I know they are a big deal for many people, including myself. Regards, Ralph

I see you're still listed as a project member on GitLab. Seeing that project member can leave on their own account, is that intentional? Do you still intend to work on any issues that are assigned to you? https://gitlab.com/groups/sane-project/-/issues?scope=all=✓=opened_username=ro-ben @louis> Would you be willing to pick up maintenance of the non-network bits of the pixma backend? Again, sorry to see you leave. -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Softwarehttps://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join
